Your Diversion has kept me on my toes.

Divertimento:

Paul Wranitzky - Trois Divertissemens pour Deux Violons, Viole, Violoncelle, Flute/Hautbois, deux Cors & Basse - apparently "amplifications" of six of Haydn's best-known string quartets, opp. 71 and 74.

Rodrigo -Concierto como un divertimento (commissioned by Julian LW)

Matti Rautio - Divertimento for cello and orchestra (presumably written for his cellist brother Erkki Rautio who has recorded it)

Did you hear about the bloke who sent ten puns to his friends, hoping that at least one of the puns would make them laugh? No pun in ten did.

Now for a Pinteresque joke (I just finished listening to Betrayed while walking the mutts this morning). A bear walked into a bar and said: "I'll have a beer.... and some peanuts." The barman said, "Why the big pause?"

Advice allegedly given to the King of Spain when he was planning an all-out assault on independence-seeking terrorists, advising him to adopt a phased approach: 'Don't put all your Basques in one exit'

A man walked into a bar holding an alligator. He asked the bartender, "Do you serve lawyers here?" The bartender said, "Yes, we do!" "Good," replied the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a lawyer for my alligator."

Man walks into a bar...
Should have gone to Spec Savers.

Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused an anaesthetic injection at the dentist? He wanted to transcend dental medication.

Or the woman who went into a bar and ordered for a "double entendre". The barman gave her one.

Where's Subby to save us from all this?

Two out of three. Look for a Haydn piece arranged as a Divertimento for cello and orchestra (to match the other two).
